CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM
July 8, 1993
TO: Sue Rauh
FROM: Ian Clough

_ Temp. Chief Licence Inspector &
Bylaw Enforcement Officer

SUBJECT: Addition To Parking Regulations (Bylaw 1117)

RECOMMENDATION

That the Traffic & Safety Committee recommend to council an addition to Bylaw 1117 in
regards to parking in cul-de-sacs.

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS

On several occasions it has been brought to our attention that motor vehicles have been parking
straight in cul-de-sacs rather than parallel with the curb in the cul-de-sac and also that vehicles
have been parking against the center island of cul-de-sacs, which have these islands. This
parking issue has caused frustration for the various outside departments especially the sanitation
department due to the inability to get access into the cul-de-sac due to cars blocking their way.

DISCUSSION

With respect to emergency response by local fire and police departments it would be a benefit to
have proper access to the cul-de-sacs.

Under our current bylaw we have nothing which covers the area of parking in cul-de-sacs,
however the motor vehicle act section 191 covers the manner of parking but does not address
parking against center islands of cul-de-sacs.

I would like to recommend the following addition to the general regulations of Traffic
Regulation Bylaw 1117 to include:

No person to stand, step or park a vehicle other than parallel with the outside curb
of any cul-de-sac,
